How to reconcile the bequest to close relatives as mentioned in the Qur'an with the hadith "There is no bequest for an heir"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You mentioned, Honorable Shaykh, the bequest to close relatives as stated in the Qur'an, and there is a hadith that negates it by saying there is no bequest for an heir. What is the difference between what you mentioned and what is in the hadith?

Answer:
I said that the verse is abrogated. But the questioner may not have heard that the verse is abrogated. The heir has no bequest; his inheritance is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah has given every one who has a right his right, so there is no bequest for an heir. Thus, the verse is abrogated, or it refers to relatives who are not heirs? It refers to relatives who are not heirs. Yes.
